Here are some of our favourite (and super easy) ideas to try! 👇


1. 🍪 

Freeze-Dried Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches

Upgrade your cookie game!

👉 Crush a few pieces of freeze-dried ice cream and sprinkle them between two soft cookies. The crunchy, creamy texture adds the perfect twist — and you don’t have to worry about melting!

Pro tip: Use chocolate chip or double chocolate cookies for the ultimate combo.

 


2. 🧁 

Cupcake Toppers with a Crunch

Crush your freeze-dried ice cream and sprinkle it over frosted cupcakes.

Not only does it look beautiful (think pastel colours and fun textures), but it also adds a creamy crunch that everyone will ask about.


Best for: Birthday parties, bake sales, or just a sweet flex on Instagram.

 


3. 🥤 

Freeze-Dried Ice Cream Milkshake

Blend your favourite ice cream flavour (yes, real ice cream!) with milk and a handful of crushed freeze-dried ice cream.

It thickens your shake, adds extra flavour, and gives it that “premium dessert shop” taste.


Try this: Vanilla milkshake + strawberry freeze-dried ice cream = heaven.

 


4. 🍩 

Donut Glaze Upgrade

Dip donuts in glaze, then sprinkle crushed freeze-dried ice cream on top.

It hardens into a crunchy topping that adds flavour and fun texture to every bite.


Bonus idea: Mix flavours! Try vanilla glaze with chocolate freeze-dried ice cream.

 


5. 🍓 

Breakfast Parfait or Yogurt Bowl

Add a handful of freeze-dried ice cream pieces to your morning yogurt, granola, or overnight oats.

It’s a guilt-free way to make breakfast feel like dessert (and it softens slightly as it sits — dreamy!).

 


6. 🎂 

Cake Decoration Magic

Decorating cakes? Crumble or slice your freeze-dried ice cream into shapes and use it as a topper.

It looks incredible on drip cakes, cheesecakes, and ice cream cakes — without melting or making a mess.

 


💡 Bonus Idea: Create a “Freeze-Dried Dessert Board”

Mix freeze-dried ice cream, fruits, and sweets on a snack board for parties or movie nights. It’s colourful, crunchy, and guaranteed to impress.
